Description

This Vienna schnitzel recipe includes pounded pork filets breaded in cake flour, beaten eggs with milk, and bread crumbs and deep-fried to perfection.

Ingredients

1 quart oil for deep frying
6 (6 ounce) fillets pork sirloin
2 cups dry bread crumbs
1 cup cake flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1 Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Place filets on a solid, level surface and pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet until ⅛- to ¼-inch thick.
3 Place bread crumbs and flour in two separate shallow dishes, such as soup plates. Lightly beat eggs in a third shallow dish; add milk and lightly season with salt and black pepper.
4 Dredge filets in flour, patting lightly by hand. Dip into egg mixture, using a fork to hold filets; let excess drip off. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides filets. Place breaded filets, unstacked, onto a plate.
5 Deep fry filets until golden brown.
